Brief Project Summary:

This project will leverage the expertise in plant molecular biology, genetic engineering and agricultural
extension, as well as work experience with bacterial and nematode pathogens at the PIs’ laboratory. A
combination of molecular, biochemical, cell biology, genetic and genomic approaches will be employed
for this project.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

In-depth identification and characterization of components of soybean UBS in host immunity would
allow a better understanding of the soybean immune system and discovery of key targets to be utilized
by breeding programs to develop varieties with improved host immunity. Because ubiquitination also
plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development (Moon et al., 2004), information gained
from this project may also be used for improving other soybean traits.

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
